Dear Patron,

A new month has come. I'm now 33. I don't feel 33, but I guess being 33 is really no different than being 32. Let's hope it stays that way.

A new season of anime is about to begin. I'm very sad because My Dress Up Darling ended and that was easily my favorite anime. What really got to me was how the series showcased what it's like to be treated with basic human kindness. We live in a society where human kindness is almost foreign. Watching Gojo break out of his shell thanks to Marin's kindness and acceptance was a real treat.

Of course, the fanservice helps. Like, really. I know normal people complain, but gosh, I love the fanservice in this anime.

While last season had what's going to be my all-time favorite anime (My Dress Up Darling, obviously), this season has my favorite lineup. There are already several shows I know I'm gonna enjoy the heck out of. Among them is The Rising of the Shield Hero season 2, Kaguya-Sama season 3, Spy x Family, Komi Can't Communicate Season 2, Date of Live season 4, Shikimori is More Than Just a Cutie, A Couple of Cuckoos, Science Types Fell in Love Season 2, Undead Skeleton Knight, I'm Quitting Heroing, Summertime Render, The Dawn of the Witch, and a few others that I am undecided on.

As you can see, there's a lot of new anime coming out. I don't even know if I have enough time to watch it all.

What are you watching this season?

WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior: Volume 11 is now available on pre-order via multiple online retailers! It's currently not available in print, but I have ordered a proofed copy, which will hopefully arrive soon, so I can hit the approve button and have my publisher begin distributing copies to retailers.

I'm going to begin posting Man Made God 005 this month. The first chapter will come out on Tuesday. The manuscript for A Most Unlikely Hero 10 has been sent to my editor and my artist is working on the illustrations as we speak.

I'm also editing Arcadia's Ignoble Knight, Volume 10. I'm currently halfway finished. Volume 8 is with my editor and I'm working on creating an art document for volume 9. I've even managed to hire Claparo, the original artist for this series, to come back and finish it with me. He's working on the BW artwork right now.

Now, I have something exciting to share with you all. My books are now available to read at your local libraries! I've partnered with Overdrive, a digital distributor of audiobooks and ebooks to distribute my ebooks to libraries around the world.

Before I share more, let me just say my books are not automatically stored in a library's database.

How To Get My Books at Your Local Library:

To read my books at your local library, you have to request them. Different libraries probably have different methods of requesting a book. It may be as simple as going up to a librarian and saying you want to request they get X-book in their eBook catalog, or you may have to fill out an online form. You'll want to check your local library to figure out how that works. Either way, if you're under a budget and can't afford my books, you can request my book at your library to read it for free.

That's all the news I have for today. I hope you're all doing well. Remember, if you're a kitsune patron and you don't have access to my art library, please be sure to let me know. I have to manually add everyone to my library, but since I'm not always online, some patrons might slip through the cracks.
